didSelectRowAtIndexPath returns wrong IndexPath

I have encountered a really puzzling bug. The first row of my UITableView returns 1 and the second one returns 0 in the indexPath! How is that even possible?

In my `-(void)viewDidLoad` everything is still fine. I am highlighting the first row successfully with

currentRow = 0;
[tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:currentRow inSection:0] 
  animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];

I have the variable currentRow for tracking which row is selected (another control changes according to which one is currently selected).

Now in my `didDeselectRowAtIndexPath` delegate function I have:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
...
NSLog(@"IndexPath: %@", [indexPath description]);
}

The log shows the following:

IndexPath: <NSIndexPath 0x79509d0> 2 indexes [0, 0] when I touch the second row, and IndexPath: <NSIndexPath 0x79509d0> 2 indexes [0, 1] when I touch the first row.

There are is no row insertion or deletion or sorting, etc., not even scrolling. It is a simple UITableView, grouped style, with 1 section and 3 rows. What could be causing this?

Thanks for your help,

You have implemented didDeselectRowAtIndexPath. It will be fired when the row is no longer selected.

When you touch the second row, the first row is no longer selected, so [0, 1] will be shown.
When you touch the first row again, the second row is now no longer selected, so [0, 0] will be shown.

These are totally expected.

Implement didSelectRowAtIndexPath if you need it to respond when the row is selected.

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    //                                       ^
    ...

    NSLog(@"IndexPath: %@", [indexPath description]);
}

Despite the title, the overloaded method is in fact didDeselectRowAtIndexPath, so it sounds like the behaviour is correct -- when the 1th row is touched, the 0th becomes deselected, and vice versa.
